I have a zwave door sensor and I'm attempting to setup a scene that will alert me via mobile app push when the door has been left open for more than 10 seconds at any time of day. So far my scene is as follows:
Devices:
Notification Command "FRONT DOOR IS OPEN"
Front door sensor (gear icon set to "no change)
Trigger:
12:00, Repeated every 1 day
Front door sensor changes to level 255
Condition:
Front door sensor has been > level 0 for 10 seconds
I get the notification on my phone when I click the Activate scene button but the scene does not run automatically when the door is left open for 10 + seconds. please help!

You've got two triggers - your scene will only run if one of those items triggers it. So, if at 12:00 it runs and the condition of your sensor being open for more than 10 seconds, it'll run the scene and send you the notification.
The 2nd trigger, which is "sensor changes to level 255" will also trigger. The condition will then be evaluated to see if the sensor has been open for 10 seconds; in this case though, since the trigger only just now opened, it's always going to be false and will never actually activate the scene.
What I'd suggest is you remove the sensor changes trigger and only use a repeated trigger. Change it to repeat every X seconds. The higher the value the better in terms of performance, but it'll make your "10 seconds" less accurate, so pick a value that works for you without tying up your CPU with a lot of checks.
